Stent removal from ureter
Why does an ureteral stent need to be removed?
Doctors use ureteral stenting to relieve obstructions or improve the flow of urine through the urinary tract. Because the stent is a foreign object, leaving it in place too long increases the risk of infection. Ureteral stent removal reduces this risk by allowing a doctor to remove the stent from the affected ureter.
How often does an ureteral stent need to be replaced?
If a plastic stent was used, it may need to be replaced every 3 to 4 months. Metal stents normally last twice as long as plastic stents. You may also need to have an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) one month after your procedure. An ERCP may be used to remove or reposition your stent, and check for gallstones or bile leaks.
What is the recovery time after an ureteral stent?
Don't do any physically demanding activities for the first 24 hours after your procedure. Examples of demanding activities include lifting objects heavier than 15 pounds (6.8 kilograms) or any activities that use your abdominal muscles (abs). After 24 hours, you can go back to doing your normal activities.
What is involved in ureteral stent removal?
Ureteral stents are removed using two basic methods: 1) By pulling on a stent string , if the string was left in place. 2) Placing a camera into the bladder (cystoscopy) to directly see and grab the stent with a small grasping device. In some cases, your urologist will leave a string attached to one end of a ureteral stent.
